@multiplanet1 This makes sense in business. But in government, it’s a recipe for huge losses that cannot be recovered. Unless you’re fighting a war, you should not conduct government like this. Musk doesn’t understand that.

An interesting read on my Maintenance thoughts in the Ezra Klein interview.

I certainly do not disparage girlbosses--directly, or, I trust, indirectly--since I'm married to a first-rate one.

His take on rural values about maintenance I think is right, and an important point.

Nice graphic. Is that a Rolls-Royce cop car?

“They cannot imagine what they have awakened. They cannot conceive of the army that they have arisen in all of us, because we stand for what is good, what is virtuous, what is noble.“ Paradoxically, this kind of rhetoric lays the foundation for evil. I wish Miller knew that.
